Application filed November 30, 15520. Serial No. 427,374.

ject to provide an improved and simple device which can be placed on existing gas rings to increase the amount of heat and so enable cooking and the like to be effected in much less time than heretofore.

The present gas cooker consists of a ring having a number of gas jets at the top and a number of upstanding projections on which to stand the cooking utensil.

According to this invention a cone or dome of metal or other suitable material is placed over the gas ring or the like to collect the heat from the gas jets, said cone-or dome being formed with one or more tubes or flues to convey heat to a plate or the like provided on' the upper extremities of the said tubes.

One or more of the tubes may be connected to a closed in container so that said containermay serve as an oven or griller.

In order that the invention may be fully understood it will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of gas cooking stove or heater constructed in accordance with this invention; Fig. 2 is a plan thereof and Figs. 3 and 4 are side elevations of modified constructions.

The cooking stove or heater as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 consists of a metal cone a,

open at its base, which is riveted to a metal plate. The apertures in the top of the plate may be closed by means of'slides g, g, 9

The plate fis common tothe three tubes (2, e, e. r

The base plate 6' is sustained on a suitable e, e, e are" support by means of feet h, it so thatplates and the like may be placed thereunder.

The slide 9 is arranged to move in guides j, j while the slides g, 9 move aboutrpivots 7c, is.

Z, a are side and back plates respectively. It will be seen that in this example three separate cooking utensils can be placed on the plate f either for boiling or frying but any suitable number of radiating tubesmay be employed. 7

Referring to Fig. 3, a rectangular cham ber m provided with'a door o is fitted over one of thetubes 6 so that food may be placed therein to be grilled and toasted.

This chamber is of small height so that the heat coming up the tube strikes the top of the chamber and is deflected downward as illustrated by the arrows.

In this construction of heater, boilingor frying, grilling or toasting can take place i at the same time from the'onegas ring.

Referring now to Fig. 4, anoven p pro vided with the usual shelves 9 is'fit'ted over one of the tubes ,6 so that roasting or baking may take place in addition to boiling and such like on the plate f. Utensils may also be placed onthe top of the oven.

If it is not desiredto use all thetubes 6 those not required may be closed by the slides g, 5/; also the heat in the oven maybe regulated by the slide The oven or able.

the top of each tube.

so i

A heater constructed in accordance with this invention can be used in any room where there is a gas supply. When the gas is lighted the heat will'drive to the top of the; cone and distribute itself through the tubes to the various cooking utensils.

What I claim is V v u 1. A gas cooking or heating apparatus com rising 'a'hollow cone 0 en at to and bottom, adapted to be set over a ring burner to receive and conduct heat therefrom, and

having a plurality of open tubes diverging upwardly and outwardly therefrom, and means for opening and closing said cone and tubes. r

2. A cooking or heating apparatus comprising a hollow cone, open at top and bottom, adapted to be set over a ring burner to receive and conduct heat therefrom, and

having a plurality of open tubes diverging upwardly and outwardly therefrom, means for opening and closing said'cone and tubes,

and a heating chamber associated with said 5 cone and adapted to receiveheat from one of said tubes. 7

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wltnesses.
